The Seventy-second session of the World Health Organization (WHO) Regional Committee for Africa wound up today after five days of deliberations and adoption of strategies to better respond to the region\u2019s health challenges and improve people\u2019s health and well-being.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The meeting provided a platform for collaboration, sharing ideas and resetting focus for a post COVID-19 Africa. Three resolutions were adopted during the meeting including a strategy to decentralize health services for severe noncommunicable diseases, reforming the response to public health, and a regional strategy for the management of environmental determinants of human health.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Around 30 health ministers and more than 700 participants attended the meeting \u2013 held in the Togolese capital Lom\u00e9 \u2013 in-person and virtually. The Regional Committee is the WHO\u2019s decision-making body in the region, convening once a year to discuss and endorse regional policies, activities and financial plans to improve people\u2019s health and well-being.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
